We're Going to Fail.

We regret exceedingly to make
this anDouucement, more becau se OF
the great disappointment to our many
friends and customers, than for per-
sonsl reasons. The failure to which
we refer is our inability to answer all
the questions about the fire that oc-
cured in our place this week. how it
originated? who discovered il? &c.
But more particularly ss to why and
how we can afford to sell our goods
at such ridiculously low prices. But
never mind the why's and herefores,
we're too busy to sop and explain.
The Holidays are fast approaching
and what are you going to have for
dinner. Few things eau be imagin-
ed that are tougher than
A BOILED OWL.
We have never tried it for dessert al
though we once heard of an English
man who ate some hot clam soup
raise Bo, LED Howl and exclaim
that American bills of fare were very
tough
We continue to study tho wants of
the people and as result we make it
tough for competition endeavoring
to keep pace with US in supplying
the trade.
We call attention this week to our
immense stock of useful aud ornamen-
tai articles tor the Holiday trade, such
as Seal Gaps, Hats, Fine Silk Muif.
lers, Sllkhandkeicbiefs, Silk, Mobair
and Alpaca Umbrellas with Gold aud
Silver handles, Gloves, Suspenders,
Hosiery, Shirts, Collars Underwear,
Knit Jackets, Jewelry, Neckwear in

the market, Satchels, Nalises, Trunks,
Brushes, Combs aud li01 other atti.

make so many friends happy.

A Great Flight Of Hawks.

A recent invasion of hawks in Bay
Hundred, Talbot County, causes much
comment and not a little speculation as
to the cause of the flight of the birds
from some other region. Mr.. Frank G..
Wrightson, of Bay Hundred, very con-
servativc man, says: 81 don't like to
say it, but honestly believe there were
not only thousands but million, and
perhaps millions of these birds, flying in
tiocks northward up the eastern shore OF
the Chesapeake on Friday and Satur-
day." Mr.. Wrightson remembers an
other but much smaller flight of hawks
over the same section some twenty years
ago. These hawks were somewhat
smaller in body than the big hen hawk
that lives and thrives in this country, but
the head, plumage, and talons were like
those of our native hawks. In their flight
northward they met about the mouth of
the Choptank River IL strong north wind,
which drove them shoreward. They did
not come far into the interior, but
hovcrcd about the headlands and shores
of the bay and the broad estuaries, and
seemed to be ravenous for food. Forty
hours covered the period of their visit
from the coming of the advance guard to
the leaving of the stragglers, and on Sun
day not hawk could beseen.-Baltimore

Flowing q Channel.

"Did you ever hear of blowing chan
mel in the Alabama River for steamer to
get through2" asked an old river en-
gineer yesterday. :,
The reporter had heard many tough
warn from the frcsh-water salts who draw
the long bow on Front street between
trips, but this was brand-new, and ne
surrendered. =,
"Wcll, last July the Carrier grounded
on Yellowiacket Bar on a falling river.
The crew pulled away on the capstaan
without moving the old boat an inch,
when the mate, seeing we would be high
and dry in q few hours, got out lot of
hoes that were in the freight and par of
the crew were set to digging alongside
the bottom of the boat, SO as to wet her
sides, while the rest were hauling away.
Old DR.. Harris, who lives abont two
miles from the bar, and who has turn
for civil engineering, asked Captain
Ncwmaster if there wasn't a plow IN
the freight. There was, and IN minute
a big deck hand was up to his waist IN
the channel above the bar holding inc
blow handle, which was hitched to the
carstan rope, and the pow was ha"ieo
70 thc boat a half-dozen times or so.
Then tho rope was tied to tree on the
hank above and the old Carrier went
over that bar like butter through I'm
horn, There's heap of science IN naVl"
